Danbury legislator predicts trucks only toll vote will fail in Jan.

There more doubt that a transportation special session in Connecticut would yield a solution to the question of how to fund long term transportation infrastructure improvements.  Danbury Representative Bob Godfrey told the Patch online that there are likely not enough votes for the Governor's trucks only toll plan.  He doesn't think it's constitutionally viable given the legal case over a similar system in Rhode Island.  The deputy speaker pro tempore says many of his colleagues are uncomfortable with the constantly changing proposal, adding that a commercial trucks tolls will make consumer items more expensive as a result of the additional costs.  Godfrey suggested to the publication that alternatives like a gas tax increase could be viable.
